Another way St. Augustin works to keep tuition low is through the Scrip program. Scrip is a national fundraising program that helps nonprofit groups and schools like St. Augustin School earn money by selling gift cards for local and national businesses. These gift cards are issued by the retailer and look just like regular gift cards. In appreciation for your patronage, these businesses give St. Augustin School between 2% and 25% of the face value of the gift card. All you need to do is purchase them at face value and use them for your daily purchases instead of cash or a credit card.
